Dad went home for awhile

Dad went home with Nolan today to see how the house is holding up and to just get away for awhile. It is not easy living in someone house and I think a break is just what he needed. However we have lost our driver so back to taxi's for at least one day a week. On Wednesday I am not working so I will give it the old college try and drive the beast so lots of prayers for Matt's safety!! Dad gave me a run down but am very nervous about driving the beast. So far the weather is co-operating and still no snow. It did get colder with a massive wind today and risk of snow.
Last week we were unable to take Matt to the pool like we had planned. He wasn't feeling up to par with his blood pressure continuously dropping when he would stand or transfer.
Today he was much stronger. When the girls where doing his exercises on the floor, they had him doing bridging exercises. That is when he lays on his back, the girls lift his knees to a bent position with his feet still on the floor. Then he pushes up with his abdomen and lifts his bum off the floor. Today there was an extra twist. Shaunie thought it looked like great fun and sat on his stomach. Matt, die hard that he is, decided to keep going and completed 10 bridges in a row. Jonmarie felt left out and decided to sit with her 50 lbs of weight and Matt did another ten more. Even I can't do that, without whining and complaining. Keep it up Matt!!
John's birthday was last week and we had friends from Yorkton and Ontario come to the house to say hi to Matt. One was an orthopedic surgeon and was so shocked by the amount of dexterity Matt had in his right hand. He thought it was about a T1 injury (remember there are 7 cervical vertebrae before you get to the thoracic vertebrae and Matt's injury was at C2-C3).
Matt is waiting for an MRI for his head, neck and shoulder. Hopefully at the beginning of the new year. Still going for laser treatments and as usual Matt is still charming everyone he meets. A new Sask. roughriders hat now sits on his desk for him to wear because of his irresistible smile.
Love to all and special prayers and thoughts to our Weekes neighbor Alex who is recovering from a heart attack in Saskatoon. Thanks to Ardith and Tom for looking after the house and dog while everyone was away.
